This Robbery sonrc Going Little too
Far.

The halfa dozen or moro 'hold ups"
which have been recorded so indus
triously in the newspapers in the rast
two weeks, have been magniiied into
hundreds IN the minds eye of the peo-
plc. and the fact OF the matter is every
body's afraid 10 stick their noses out
of doors after night-fall.
Last night tire were several ludi-
crous incidents when good citizens
watched each other and lodged around
corners, and one instance is where
two watched each other and finally
took refuge in a street car, the crowd
got to be three in number By the time
they 90, into the car. There was Il
good laugh all around. Another in
stance: A lady and gentleman were
walking together on a certain street.
A gentlen an coming behind them con-
cludcd to keep in the rear of them for
company and perhaps protection. The
gentleman with the lady stood
it as long as he could, when he sud
denly wheeled around and demanded
Of the man why he was following him
and TO make tracks the other way. The
man demonstrated, but the other party
followed him up. The rear man max
ing circuit into the street succeeded
in getting in front of the party and
entered the gate Of his own home, and
then informed his frightened friend
that he lived there.
Some of these reported robberies
are true, others have no foundation to
them. The police have only in two or
three instances any tangible evidence
of genuine robbery, and what has been
done has been greatly exaggerated
The majority of the men who have
been robbed report from So so 10 six
bis losses.

There was little hubbub In the Custom

Taylor. The trouble was confined to Republi-
can breasts. The Democrats beamed hope
fully, and the varied emotions OF tho clerks
representing the two parties were reflected

The direct cause of the different sensations
WAS tho request from headquarters for the

escape from the Trenton State Prison on Mon

Francis Hanna. alias Charles Mack. Charles H.
Skirm, and James Carney occupied one Of the
large coils in the south hall OF the
prison. On Monday evening. as they re-
turned from the workshops, Baum noticed
that in an unoccupied cell adjoining
theirs some workmen had left a hole in the
wall through which tho prison yard could be
seen. With their knives and forks tho four
men dug hole through tho stone and brick
wall Of their own cell into the unoccupied one.
When finally they succeeded In making hole
largo enough to crawl through, they FOUND the
closed up. Alta o'clock In the morning turn
They had torn up their bed sheets ana twist
ed the pieces into rope. With this 1t was
their intention to scale the high stone wall
surrounding the prison, kill four ferocious
bloodhounds in tho prison yard, and knock
senseless tho guard who watches from the
tower. The men said they intended to take
every chance and risk their lives for liberty.
